Very, very, nice. I especially like the rugged cliff leading to the water in the third shot.

If you love to take cruises, take one in Alaska. The cruises know their business and will show you most of the top tourist sites. However, my wife and I have been to Alaska twice, planned our own two-week trip each time for mid-June, and figure [including a car rental] that we did it for half the price of a one-week cruise. Hint--plan EARLY--Alaska only has a three-month season of warmer weather [June-August] so accommodations and train reservations go quickly. Problem with a cruise [we talked to some cruise people] is they may rush you from place to place when you'd rather spend more time in a nice location, and you never really meet the Alaskan people or go to those memorable small hotels or local restaurants/bars that are so memorable--there are just too many of you on the "booked" cruise tours for a smaller place. Hint--we beat the price of an exorbitant car rental by renting a U-Haul truck for half our trip at $19.95 a day plus mileage, figure we saved two-thirds, had plenty of room for the two of us and baggage. Recommendations?? For sure, start in Anchorage and train up to Denali, but also Marine Highway/ferryboats up the Inside Passage to Skagway [be sure to reserve online for the White Pass and Yukon historic/scenic train ride up into Canada--take a passport--the most highly rated scenic ride in the US]. If going to the southeast Kenai peninsula, for sure Homer and Seward and the boat ride/glacier and whale tours out of each one.

Great advice. Have to make it up there one of these days. Wife and I are on a 50 state quest, we're at 45 so far and Alaska is one of the 5.

Outstanding set! Really captures an Alaska travelogue. The scenes are reminiscent of a trip we took ten years ago with National Geographic. Were these taken on a tour?

Nice shots. It was really the last frontier when I lived there in the '50 s, much different then now.

I enjoyed Mt Denali and the scene with the natural arches.
